Anyone have recommendations for hosting services that can do Django, Node.js, Postgreqsl, python3, as well as PHP/MySQL for legacy stuff? I’m also looking to have IMAP email. This would be for several domains, with maybe 100GB of data.

I recommend Django Europe - <http://djangoeurope.com>. You get shell access.I've used them for years. Very reliable, the rates seem reasonable, and support is superb.

I like webfaction, https://www.webfaction.com/?aid=43671 (shameless link with affiliate or here for affiliateless link https://www.webfaction.com/)

it is a shared hosting, you get shell access and 8 cores, you can compile your own stuff as needed or use their click and install

for django projects you can create your own virtualenv and install or compile on your home nginx, uwsgi or whatever you prefer

you can use the shared postgres db, you get your own database under the shared postgres installation


or you can get your own VM on digitalocean, it start cheaper and can do whatever you want, but you'll have to do it yourself

good luck

I like webfaction, too. I think they would have all the stuff you list as well as more.

I like Linode, and DigitalOcean is also a great choice.

Both require low-level configuration of the server but I prefer that over the pre-packaged solutions.

+1 for Linode and Digital Ocean.

Also, you can get 2 Virtual Private Servers on AWS EC2  for free for the first year.

I'm a total noob, but I was able to get a basic Django app (Postgresql as DB) running on DigitalOcean without much trouble. It wasn't easy--in fact, I was ready to throw my computer out the window a few times--but I'm happy that I now have that skill.

DigitalOcean also has a great interface and very reasonable pricing.

I'm using webfaction also - though still shared, they (and others) are much, much better than commodity shared hosting.

Apart from the above, the reasons I chose webfaction:
  1. Django support, plus:
  2. php/MySQL for my existing codebase
R.

+1 for AWS.

Been using it for years.  Keeps getting cheaper and better.

Also +1 for AWS.  You can start out small for free for your first year, and grow to the size of Pinterest over time.  All of the other tools they provide are helpful as well: RDS so you don't have to manage your own database, Caching Service, Queuing Service, etc.

OK, i just see you need 100GB. At Uberspace you have only 10GB for Data (excl. OS, etc).
